Many different shapes are possible with just one mould – notwithstanding easy handling and short changeover times. The easiest way to produce a 3D room element is to use a fixed inner core with a slope. However, this approach is only suitable to elements in which the formation of a wall slope in the element is possible within the scope of the standards and static requirements. Such is the case for the design of garages or the production of transformer stations. For the production of substation elements in particular, we developed a solution that covers common types of stations, is flexible to use, and which can speed up the process in the plant.

Our newly developed modular mould kit offers the perfect solution also for smaller projects. One of the unique features of the new concept is the patent-pending shrinking mechanism, whereby the module is lifted while the inner core is shrunk at the same time. The mould was also deliberately designed to be modular. The core and exterior panels consist of various standardised components that can be easily swapped out and adapted to other room dimensions. This means the mould can be used efficiently even if the production volume of a room is small.

Quicky is a compact precast dowel made from a single piece. Assembling and disassembling parts is not required. Quicky is injection-moulded from high-quality branded HDPE plastic and is therefore cheaper than metal-plastic sleeves. The threadless sleeve allows for the anchoring screw to be turned in and out with an electric screwdriver in seconds. The days of risky unscrewing of threaded parts (breakage!) and cumbersome manual screwing of the anchoring screw into threads that are frequently soiled with cement paste are gone at last!

The pocket battery moulds from RATEC incorporate all the creativity and engineering know-how of more than 40 years of experience in the development and rationalisation of precast concrete plants. Together with the proven upcrete® technology, our pocket battery moulds prove their high quality and cost-effectiveness day in and day out on three continents. The end product is characterised by smooth surface concrete on all sides as well as by the smallest geometric tolerances. The shutterings also impress with their ease-of-use and sturdiness.

The UPP Pump Station is suitable for the realisation of complex, smooth and high quality precast concrete parts. As the centrepiece of the upcrete® technology, the UPP creates possibilities where other filling techniques are out of the question for reasons of quality or feasibility.

The EURO RTM standard magnets were the first magnetic components to introduce magnetic shuttering solutions to modern precast concrete production. With their compact design and reliable retaining force, they are still suitable for many shuttering tasks and are used today in numerous plants. The special shape allows for various accessory components to be slipped over and safely fixed in place through positive locking.

With the SPB Standard Pro Magnetic Box, we have set the standard for switchable shuttering magnets in the precast concrete plant. The SPB is the original and offers absolute reliability and durability with its integrated Pro-Magnet, even in difficult conditions. The magnetic retaining core is tested regularly in our own magnet production to meet the specified retaining force. The SPB is ready to accommodate adapters and various shuttering skin carriers, which offer countless usage possibilities and thus maximum flexibility for the future. The Verbus rib screw connection offers countless possibilities for attaching shuttering skin carriers of all types and for integrating systems such as, e.g. Doka, Peri, H-beam carriers or RATEC shuttering systems.

The SAS-MF Module Flex shuttering system for solid and sandwich wall and ceiling panels is available in lengths of 500 mm to 8000 mm and features a modular variable height from 100 mm to 500 mm. The SAS-MF is optimised for quick shuttering skin changeovers and is suitable for many different types of shuttering skin (wood, alkus, smooth steel, tongue and groove, shear key, steel or rope connection loops). With a base, it is possible to implement various heights and shuttering shapes by changing the front plate. Even complicated element geometries and protruding reinforcements are possible.

All series are available with or without handlebar grip and with or without additional holes to accommodate angles. The usage possibilities of the standard magnets can be extended individually through accessories such as longitudinal or frontal suppressing or clamping adapters. — Magnetic rubber (series A) or neodymium magnets (series P and PDA) — Temperature exposure up to 60 °C, series P and PDA on request up to 80 °C — Eccentric removable — Smooth surfaces, easy to clean

Practical and flexible – with the new "Easy Form" shuttering system, even the most difficult shuttering situations can be dealt with quickly and easily. Different ribs allow for the shuttering height to be adapted seamlessly. With the flat base, protruding reinforcements from a height of 25 mm are possible. Easy Form is designed as a modular system, which can be easily expanded, supplemented and flexibly used even with just a few components. In combination with the vast range of accessories, this system always has the right answer for any shuttering situation.

Insert magnets for mounting and assembly from RATEC have been used for years in the precast concrete industry. They have proven themselves in tough everyday conditions. And through the combination of rubber bodies with integrated magnets, they can be produced in almost any geometry. Simple solutions make efficient work possible. The strong, integrated magnet fixes the insert part in the exact position.

The KBV crane concrete distributor is THE transport system for concrete from the mixing plant to the production area. Precise unloading not only saves concrete, but also improves the quality of your finished parts.

The TT Pro slab shuttering system from RATEC makes shuttering and demoulding of TT ceiling elements as easy as it gets. The system reduces the setup and retooling time by more than 5%. No crane is needed. When combined with the SPB 900 and the clamping adapter for the top header as well as the EURO RTM 900 for side shuttering, no welding is necessary, which reduces the setup time even further. The economy of scale is unbeatable.

Visionary concepts come true with upcrete® modular moulds – even complex concrete structures can be produced with smooth surfaces on all sides. The room module mould with “flying” shrinking core was the fi rst room cell mould developed in Hockenheim and was used for a modular housing project for a Peruvian customer. This mould variant is based on the upcrete® technology, in which self-compacting concrete is pumped from below into a closed mould. This process allows the concrete to optimally distribute within the mould and yields smooth surfaces on all sides, as well as precise edges and recesses. Another advantage is that the structure can be produced in its fi nal installation position, which means that subsequent turning is no longer required.
